“Florentine Plaster”

The incredible Florentine plaster is an easy, yet gorgeous faux finish technique. Still, after about twenty years, one of the best sellers. FP looks like a multi layer technique, but is not.

Contemporary, modern or electic, take your pick, Florentine Plaster will always be the "talk of the party"
